[Bug 37230] Re: [Dapper FL5] Clock applet doesn't syncrhonise with NTP
This problem still exists in Edgy. When you use Adjust date and time > synchronize now, it doesn't do anything, so one would assume it was synchronized. However, if you check the "keep clock synchronized with internet servers"-box, it informs you that ntp-support isn't installed. You then have to install support for ntp, uncheck the box, synchronize now, then re-check the box. It's rather ugly. -- [Dapper FL5] Clock applet doesn't syncrhonise with NTP https://launchpad.net/bugs/37230 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 37230] Re: [Dapper FL5] Clock applet doesn't syncrhonise with NTP
I'm under the impression that bugs #13890 and #37301 are somewhat related to this. Has the fix (which as far as I understand from Gary's post is just changing the command) been committed (just asking, not complaining) ? -- [Dapper FL5] Clock applet doesn't syncrhonise with NTP https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/37230 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 37230] Re: [Dapper FL5] Clock applet doesn't syncrhonise with NTP
1. Perhaps the error message could be rewritten to be clearer - ntpdate does an "instant update", and that is installed - what your system is missing is a program with runs continuously (ntp-server). 2. You don't also need ntp, if you're happy with the date being just slightly incorrect occasionally. As regards the "Synchronise now" button not working, the bug is in time-admin, it appears to try to run /etc/init.d/ntpdate restart However, this file no longer exists - the command to run should be /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate The file was moved in ntpdate version 1:4.2.0a+stable-8.1ubuntu2 ** Changed in: gnome-panel (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: gnome-panel => gnome-system-tools Status: Unconfirmed => Confirmed -- [Dapper FL5] Clock applet doesn't syncrhonise with NTP https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/37230 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
